If your business provides a service to clients, you need a Service Level Agreement.

Yet, it's one of the most overlooked documents in small and medium businesses.

What exactly is an SLA?
A Service Level Agreement is a formal contract between a service provider and a client that sets out in clear, agreed terms exactly what will be delivered, to what standard, within what timeframe, and what happens if those expectations aren't met. In short, it removes the grey areas before they become disputes.

Here's why your business needs one:
• It sets clear expectations for both parties from day one
• It protects you if a client claims you didn't deliver
• It protects your clients and builds trust in your service
• It gives you a legal framework to resolve disputes without going to court
• It reduces the risk of misunderstandings that damage business relationships

Whether you are a freelancer, a growing SME, or an established business an SLA is not a luxury. It is a foundation.

We draft and review Service Level Agreements that are practical, enforceable, and tailored to your specific business needs.

A job offer. A fresh start. A chance to be closer to family. Relocation can mean something different to every parent. But in split custody arrangements, the decision to move is never simply yours to make alone.

South African law is clear on this: a parent with primary residence cannot relocate with a child without either the consent of the other parent or an order from the court.

And when the matter goes to court, the question isn't whether the move makes sense for you. The question is whether the move is in the best interests of the child.

At Van Blerk Law, we handle family law matters, including relocation disputes, whether you are the parent wanting to relocate or the parent facing the possibility of distance from your child, we are here to help you understand your rights and navigate the process.

Drowning in debt? Overwhelming debt is one of the most isolating experiences a person can face. And for many people, the biggest barrier to finding a way out is simply not knowing that one exists.

Voluntary surrender of estate is a legal process that allows an individual to apply to the High Court to have their estate sequestrated, essentially placing their financial affairs under the administration of a trustee, who then manages the distribution of assets to creditors.

It sounds daunting. But for the right person, in the right circumstances, it can be the structured fresh start that changes everything.

If you are facing debt and don't know where to turn, speaking to an attorney is always the right first step.

Your will should be reviewed and updated when major life changes occur. An outdated will may not reflect your current wishes or financial position and could create complications for your loved ones in the future.

Events such as marriage, divorce, the birth of a child, acquiring significant assets, starting a business, or the change of a beneficiary are all important reasons to review your will.

Not sure if your will still reflects your wishes? Our team can assist with reviewing and updating it.
